Skeptical of Renewing.....

I have been using Wpforo and lots of add on for over 5 years now. Great stuff really, it is good software, but there are some issues. 

Mainly, I am skeptical with the Private Message add on. This slows down my site massively, and it hasn't been addressed. I have seen other members here with the same issue too, the fact it isnt being resolved concerns me. 

Also, the user mentions add on never worked properly for me, so though I have a licence for it, I don't use it. If it worked properly I would, great add on, but it doesn't and again, I don't see this getting fixed. 

I would like to use the advanced reaction add on too, but really don't know if it will work properly, and if its worth so. So any way, let me get to my point. 

I have 5 add ons than need renewing. 

But looking at what is in the update, its all just issues with previous bugs, just fixes to issues, and no real update. I dont feel as if it is even worth updating at this point. There is an add on to Private Messages addon, but from what I have seen, some people have updated to that version and it has caused serious issues with their site. And this hasnt been fixed. Should I update the this new version? Is it worth the money for me to update them all? 

Also, I use all of these addons:

I mentioned I would also like to add the advanced reactions, and re add the user mentions, if they're working properly. But this all stats to add up, and as previously mentioned, I only have to update five, all the others need no updates. And the updates that are available are again, all just bug fixes, no real features added. 

So, with all that in mind, I ask you all, Admin and members and users of these add ons, should I spend the money to update just the 5? Should I spend the money and renew all licences for all addons, even if they don't need an update, or, do I just leave it as it is and keep my money?? At least right now I know my plugs are working, other than the private messaging add on, they all work fine. So what do i do here? 

Tough decision, I would like some feedback on this 🙂
